For my entire life, the political situation in Palestine/Israel has deeply affected my family, probably more than would be expected for a middle class family living in the suburbia of North Central Florida. There has always been a divide between my parents over the Palestinian question-my Jewish mother's side of the family having strong ties to Israel-her Czech father a Holocaust survivor, some of his family who survived the concentration camps having immigrated to Israel, and my father having lived in Lebanon for almost a decade of his life (1969-1977), where his best friend in medical school was a Palestinian refugee, and where he learned first-hand the damage done by Israel's policies in the Arab World.
